What a great find! From the minute we walked into O'Donnell's Pub, Angela greeted us with a huge…read moresmile and made us feel completely welcome. She was AMAZING--friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we were having a great experience. And the FOOD!! You can absolutely tell that so much here is scratch-made and prepared by people who care about what they're serving. We tried the jalapeño poppers, house salads, homemade mac & cheese, fish sandwich, and the homemade provolone sticks--and everything was delicious! One of my favorite things about O'Donnell's was the atmosphere. There were lots of regulars, everyone was friendly, and you could just feel that this is the kind of neighborhood pub where people come back again and again because they're treated well. Great scratch-made food, great service, friendly people, and a place that clearly cares about its customers. Angela made our first visit especially wonderful. We'll definitely be back!

We've been here two times now and have had excellent meals both times. On our latest visit, we sat…read moreoutside on their patio and ordered the deviled eggs to start. Tasty. Kind of a combination of a scotch egg (without the sausage) and a traditional deviled egg. I'm usually not a fan of curry, but they used it sparingly to create a nice flavor. We then shared the pierogies. Not sure if they were homemade or not, but they were definitely not the standard Mrs. T's. I loved how they put the potato pierogies on a bed of sauerkraut. It was the best of both worlds. If I had one complaint, I'd say the sauerkraut was a bit too sweet for my liking. But it was still good. For the main course, we shared a fish sandwich. No complaints here. A nice piece of fish served on a fresh bun with good fries.

You have to ask yourself why you have not tried this restaurant if you're looking for a consistently excellent restaurant with epic staff dedicated to making your dining experience exceptional. Tonight, we chose from the seasonal menu. Tomahawk pork chop and honey soy tuna steak. Please don't pass up the mussels...tasty. We also got a Caesar salad and the seasonal walnut apple salad. Everything was prepared properly and was tasty. After moving from Chicago and all the dining choices we had, we can say without a doubt that this is now a favorite for us. We highly recommend trying this restaurant asap.

We went through the entire pub and were able to just squeeze in at the bar near the front. This is an authentic Irish pub - cozy, woody with old Irish decor. We will definitely stop in again another time when it is not so busy. Despite the crowd, the bartenders were quick with drinks and kept the crowd happy. There is a popcorn machine where you could grab a free bag of popcorn, which is nice and you just don't see anymore.

This is the place where everyone knows everyone. It's friendly and the staff knows you by name and knows your order before you even sit down. The food: Admittedly, they have a relatively small menu, however they picked one menu item and mastered it: Burgers. On the menu they have the Wooly Burger (highly recommended!), the Hot Scottsman, Hobby Horse, the Irishman, as well as featured special burgers like the sundowner and Guinness burger. They also have fries, loaded fries, homemade potato chips, and tacos. Truly you can't go wrong with a burger and order of homemade chips. Wooly's won best burger award for a reason!! Wooly's also has ample seating in the back for patrons who prefer to sit at a table as well as a billiards table. My significant other and I will often hit up Wooly's during the week for a burger and a couple rounds of billiards. Whether your from out of town or a local, the staff at Woolys will make you feel just like family!

Cute little restaurant/bar with a Scottish food menu. Some of the items are meant for sharing, like…read morethe Scotch eggs and toast with whipped cheese, while others are single servings, like the salads and bangers and mash. I made a light summer meal of the house salad and half order of one Scotch egg, although I found the two creamy dressings to be too much. The cocktail list is relatively long and very tempting, but we got (and enjoyed) 3 sazeracs. Service was slow, but we didn't mind, because we had a lot to catch up on, and football was on the telly. Next to no parking in their private lot. Didn't try the restrooms. P.s. use the lower door off the patio to enter/exit.

Crispy outside, nice eggs within. Excellent with a little bit of Frank's. The dijonaise with it works well, gives almost a deviled egg vibe. - The fish and chips sandwich is fantastic. Large portion: Two of us could have split it and still walked away full. Battered. This one is cooked perfectly. The sandwich sandwich roll is crippled and lovely. The tartar sauce is subtle and dead-on. This is exactly what I want from a fish sandwich. - The french fries that came with the fish and chips are nicely cooked, medium cut. Crispy potatoey and perfect. These are crowdpleasers - everyone at our table liked them. Could possibly be worth a trip in and of themselves.

It was quiet at the bar and it seems to be when it's not karaoke, so its a nice place to sit down and talk, but it's not "dead" quiet, I liked it. The bartender was very nice and attentive and made us feel very welcome, when she heard I never had ranch before because I'm not from here I had the pleasure of a nice plate of fries (really good fries by the way) and some ranch lol. Too many bartenders at other places aren't very talkative (understandable when it's busy), and the woman behind the bar made us feel like we were actually welcome that day. Five Stars to her!!

Inside was busy with most tables full but the service remained really good.
